Hello, my name is Kristy. I was more active back in 2011, worked out at a gym, and felt great, until my PCL injury reoccurred while playing racquetball with my son at the gym,that slowed me down for quite awhile. Tried to go back to the gym some time later, and just couldn't get back into it like I did before, I wanted to but just couldn't get the motivation I once had. then I was diagnosed with Lupus march of 2014, then had surgery on both my feet for bunions and hammer toes last year, the podiatrist who done my surgery didn't correct them right, basically he really screwed my feet up. I had to get them reconstructed three more times, so a total of five surgerys in eleven months. started april of 2014-feb. of 2015. thank god surgerys are all over. been a long tough year for me, because I had to lay, sit, barely any activity, and im not one to sit around, I like to be moving, and stay active, so its been hard. but I just started pain management for my nerve pain and damage on my feet, and physical therapy to get more flexibility, movement, and tens unit for pain. I can feel myself getting better slowly, and I am grateful for that. so once I feel I can start going back to the gym and worlout, and the doctor gives the okay, I am there, its very important to me to have the gym in my life, I need it, and want it. I was there at one time on a regular basis, and I felt great! Expecially my favorite class was spinning, I would come out of class like I just went swimming, great workout, so I suggest that class to everyone. I didn't gain any weight through all these surgerys, very surprised on that myself, but lost a lot of tone, got more flabby, so I need to work on that when I can get back to the gym. But I strongly suggest to everyone, please try the gym, years ago I never thought I would step a foot in a gym, my friend bagged me back in 2007, and I took that step and did, and thanks to her, I lost 112 lbs., and still kept it off for the past 8 years, just sure wish I cou
